      I often say "I am STRONG and I am THANKFUL." (I'm thankful to have a body that an actually DO the workout, when I have so many friends who have back, knee and other health problems.)

      I tell myself to suck it up since my workout is such a small part of my day.

      This. It doesn't happen often, thankfully. I tell myself do it anyways or I 10 minute myself until I'm done... I'll just do 10 minutes then I can stop, when I get that done I tell myself I can do it for 10 more minutes, etc, until I get all my cardio in. On days I lift I just take it set by set, after my first set then I tell myself I can't quit until the 3rd set is done. After the 3rd set, I may as well do all 5.

      Honestly, I tell myself to 'shut the **** up and just go' ... being harsh to myself works for some reason lol .. also I repeat this quote: "The mind will give up 1000 times before the body will ... your not dying . keep going". <-- Pinterest works for something =)

      I have two things that help a LOT... first is a picture of my backside from when I started this whole journey taped over the display on my eliptical. The other is my kids always sing that Sexy and I know it song when I say I'm going to work out lol.

      I often go for walks and am trying some bike riding. the good thing there is when I get the urge to give up I still have to get back where I started. So I think to myself get you *kitten* in gear cause you can't sleep on the street!

      "Just 5 more minutes" ..."you can do another 5 min"

      it usually happens near the end of my long runs. i tell myself "finish strong, finish strong"

      Also tell myself to suck it up when it is not a run.

      Your boyfriend is an A-hole and you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! :smile:
      I agree with using that pain to fuel your workout motivation.

      I don't get how people can get fatigued or want to give up when working out. i don't really seem to have any problem doing it for hours.

      my mantra right now is "weight under 180 by september don't want to go back to 310" I also have a photo of me and one outfit from before my diet pinned up on the inside of my closet door. So if I don't feel like working out or want to pig out I just pull it open and look.

      Pain is only temporary is what I keep telling myself when things get tough. I also hate to see myself as a quitter so I just try to finish strong!

      I subdivide to small blocks of time, then remind myself that anyone can suffer for 5 more minutes.

      If you do this, you can have bacon.

      or

      I'm sexy and I know it. I work out!

      or

      Suck it up, dude. You're going to be so hot.

      You know, all the usuals.
